Do your homework. If you don't have the experience to inspect a vehicle (not just a motorhome) then hire a competent experienced person who does prior to making an offer. Pay them what they are worth. It's that simple. It's really hard to fool a trained eye that knows what to look for. With that in mind, I see no reason not to buy a vehicle at auction if it passes YOUR inspection in advance.
I agree, sometimes Carfax can be worth the money, sometimes its not worth the paper it's written on. There is no reason major mechanical repairs would automatically show up on a Carfax report unless they were performed as part of other major accident damage well documented on a police report or other public documents. Accident damage, may, possibly show up, if an insurance company reports it. That doesn't always happen. Carfax gets most of its info from public sources. Get a clue!
